32 /** @brief evaluate Faddeeva function for complex argument
33 *
34 * @author Manuel Schiller <manuel.schiller@nikhef.nl>
35 * @date 2013-02-21
36 *
37 * Calculate the value of the Faddeeva function @f$w(z) = \exp(-z^2)
38 * \mathrm{erfc}(-i z)@f$.
39 *
40 * The method described in
41 *
42 * S.M. Abrarov, B.M. Quine: "Efficient algotithmic implementation of
43 * Voigt/complex error function based on exponential series approximation"
44 * published in Applied Mathematics and Computation 218 (2011) 1894-1902
45 * doi:10.1016/j.amc.2011.06.072
46 *
47 * is used. At the heart of the method (equation (14) of the paper) is the
48 * following Fourier series based approximation:
49 *
50 * @f[ w(z) \approx \frac{i}{2\sqrt{\pi}}\left(
51 * \sum^N_{n=0} a_n \tau_m\left(
52 * \frac{1-e^{i(n\pi+\tau_m z)}}{n\pi + \tau_m z} -
53 * \frac{1-e^{i(-n\pi+\tau_m z)}}{n\pi - \tau_m z}
54 * \right) - a_0 \frac{1-e^{i \tau_m z}}{z}
55 * \right) @f]
56 *
57 * The coefficients @f$a_b@f$ are given by:
58 *
59 * @f[ a_n=\frac{2\sqrt{\pi}}{\tau_m}
60 * \exp\left(-\frac{n^2\pi^2}{\tau_m^2}\right) @f]
61 *
62 * To achieve machine accuracy in double precision floating point arithmetic
63 * for most of the upper half of the complex plane, chose @f$t_m=12@f$ and
64 * @f$N=23@f$ as is done in the paper.
65 *
66 * There are two complications: For Im(z) negative, the exponent in the
67 * equation above becomes so large that the roundoff in the rest of the
68 * calculation is amplified enough that the result cannot be trusted.
69 * Therefore, for Im(z) < 0, the symmetry of the erfc function under the
70 * transformation z --> -z is used to avoid accuracy issues for Im(z) < 0 by
71 * formulating the problem such that the calculation can be done for Im(z) > 0
72 * where the accuracy of the method is fine, and some postprocessing then
73 * yields the desired final result.
74 *
75 * Second, the denominators in the equation above become singular at
76 * @f$z = n * pi / 12@f$ (for 0 <= n < 24). In a tiny disc around these
77 * points, Taylor expansions are used to overcome that difficulty.
78 *
79 * This routine precomputes everything it can, and tries to write out complex
80 * operations to minimise subroutine calls, e.g. for the multiplication of
81 * complex numbers.
82 *
83 * In the square -8 <= Re(z) <= 8, -8 <= Im(z) <= 8, the routine is accurate
84 * to better than 4e-13 relative, the average relative error is better than
85 * 7e-16. On a modern x86_64 machine, the routine is roughly three times as
86 * fast than the old CERNLIB implementation and offers better accuracy.
87 *
88 * For large @f$|z|@f$, the familiar continued fraction approximation
89 *
90 * @f[ w(z)=\frac{-iz/\sqrt{\pi}}{-z^2+\frac{1/2}{1+\frac{2/2}{-z^2 +
91 * \frac{3/2}{1+\frac{4/2}{-z^2+\frac{5/2}{1+\frac{6/2}{-z^2+\frac{7/2
92 * }{1+\frac{8/2}{-z^2+\frac{9/2}{1+\ldots}}}}}}}}}} @f]
93 *
94 * is used, truncated at the ellipsis ("...") in the formula; for @f$|z| >
95 * 12@f$, @f$Im(z)>0@f$ it will give full double precision at a smaller
96 * computational cost than the method described above. (For @f$|z|>12@f$,
97 * @f$Im(z)<0@f$, the symmetry property @f$w(x-iy)=2e^{-(x+iy)^2-w(x+iy)}@f$
98 * is used.

106 * Calculate the value of the Faddeeva function @f$w(z) = \exp(-z^2)
107 * \mathrm{erfc}(-i z)@f$.
108 *
109 * This is the "fast" version of the faddeeva routine above. Fast means that
110 * is takes roughly half the amount of CPU of the slow version of the
111 * routine, but is a little less accurate.
112 *
113 * To be fast, chose @f$t_m=8@f$ and @f$N=11@f$ which should give accuracies
114 * around 1e-7.
115 *
116 * In the square -8 <= Re(z) <= 8, -8 <= Im(z) <= 8, the routine is accurate
117 * to better than 4e-7 relative, the average relative error is better than
118 * 5e-9. On a modern x86_64 machine, the routine is roughly five times as
119 * fast than the old CERNLIB implementation, or about 30% faster than the
120 * interpolation/lookup table based fast method used previously in RooFit,
121 * and offers better accuracy than the latter (the relative error is roughly
122 * a factor 280 smaller than the old interpolation/table lookup routine).
